I ended up tricking a COM object with C #, and then using JavaScript to call this COM object, and was able to interact with CAPI through a browser in this way.
JavaScript:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
var keystore = new ActiveXObject("RBCrypto.KeyStore");
function getCertList()
{
try {
keystore.openKeyStore("MY", true, false);
var size = keystore.getStoreSize();
var list = document.getElementById('list');
list.size = size;
for(var i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
var fname = keystore.getFriendlyName(i, true);
var opt = new Option(fname, fname);
list.options.add(opt);
}
}
catch(err)
{
alert(err.description);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="getCertList()">
<center>
<h2>KeyStore Test</h2>
<hr />
<br />
<select id="list"></select>
</center>
</body>
</html>

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public interface AXInterface

public class KeyStore :AXInterface
{
public void openKeyStore(string storeName, bool currentUser, bool readOnly)
{
if (keystoreInitialized)
throw new Exception("Key Store must be closed before re-initialization");
try
{
if (currentUser)
certificateStore = new X509Store(storeName, StoreLocation.CurrentUser);

certificateStore = new X509Store(storeName, StoreLocation.LocalMachine);
if (readOnly)
certificateStore.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);

certificateStore.Open(OpenFlags.ReadWrite);
allCertificates = certificateStore.Certificates;
if (allCertificates == null)
{
certificateStore.Close();
throw new NullReferenceException("Certificates could not be gathered");
}
keystoreInitialized = true;
